Just a heads up, if you do end up having to repay, make sure you get documentation of everything. I paid mine off and then six months later they tried to say I still owed. Thank god I kept all my receipts!

This happened to me last year and I was freaking out! Here's what worked for me: 1) Don't panic - these things can often be resolved, 2) Gather all your paperwork (benefit statements, work search logs, everything), 3) Call the overpayment department specifically (different from regular EDD line), and 4) If you can't afford to pay back immediately, ask about hardship options. In my case, it turned out I had reported my part-time work correctly but their system had a glitch. Took 3 months to fix but they eventually cleared it. Good luck! 🤞

Pro tip: If you haven't heard anything after 3 weeks, try reaching out to your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help expedite things!

I'm currently waiting on my SDI claim too and it's been about 10 days since they received it. From what I'm seeing here, sounds like I'm still within the normal timeframe. Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences - it helps to know what to expect! @Connor Richards, hope you hear back soon!

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD. Worth a shot if you're having trouble.

I switched mine about 6 weeks ago and it took roughly 3 weeks to go into effect. One thing I wish someone had told me - make sure to screenshot or save confirmation of your direct deposit info submission because their system doesn't always keep good records. Also, don't throw away any checks you receive during the transition period until you're 100% sure direct deposit is working. The timing can be a bit unpredictable, but once it kicks in, it's so much more convenient than waiting for checks in the mail!

I'm dealing with something similar right now - submitted my forms on time but still waiting on payment. One thing that helped me was sending a secure message through the EDD portal AND following up with a fax (yes, they still use fax!). The fax number for disability claims is 866-692-5558. Make sure to include your social security number and claim number on everything. Also, if you haven't already, try reaching out to your assembly member's office - they have caseworkers who specifically handle EDD issues and can sometimes get faster responses than calling directly. Hang in there! 🤞

I've been through this exact same situation twice in the past year! Here's what finally worked for me: I called the EDD disability line (1-800-480-3287) every single day at exactly 8:00 AM for a week straight. On day 6, I finally got through and discovered they had flagged my account for "medical review" even though my doctor had already submitted all the required paperwork. The rep was able to see that my forms were received on time and released my payment within 3 business days. For the missing certification forms, they can email them to you if you ask - saves waiting for snail mail. Also, definitely keep calling about those missing forms because if you don't certify within the deadline, you'll lose those weeks of benefits permanently. Don't give up - you've got this! 💪

Welcome to the community @2d3087dd5b7a! Your caution is absolutely warranted - these scammers are unfortunately becoming more sophisticated and targeting people when they're most vulnerable. It's smart that you're being paranoid about calls right now. A few additional tips from someone who's been through this process: legitimate EDD communication usually comes through mail first, and if they do call, they'll reference specific details from your mailed correspondence. Also, never feel pressured to provide information immediately over the phone - legitimate representatives will understand if you ask to call back through official channels to verify. Stay vigilant and don't hesitate to ask questions here if anything seems off with your claim process. This community has been incredibly helpful for navigating EDD's confusing system!

As someone who just went through the disability claim process last month, I can definitely confirm what others have said - EDD only issues ONE receipt number per claim, and they rarely make outbound calls. The second call you received was almost certainly a scam. I'm glad to see from your updates that you got everything resolved with Claimyr! That service is a lifesaver when you can't get through EDD's regular lines. For anyone else reading this who might be in a similar situation, here are some red flags to watch for: - Multiple receipt numbers for the same claim - Unsolicited calls from "EDD" asking you to confirm personal info - Requests to provide SSN digits or banking details over the phone - Pressure to act immediately or provide information on the spot Always err on the side of caution and verify through official channels. The scammers are getting more sophisticated, but legitimate EDD reps will never pressure you or ask for sensitive info during cold calls. Stay safe out there!
